Maybe I Should Have Tried Screaming Instead...

Just finished episode 40 part 2 and-

"Where did you send him?" "Uh- I don't know? Maybe Spain."

I love and hate this dude with a passion.

HOLLY FUUUUUUCK

WHAT THE HECK DID I JUST LISTEN TO

Episode 52 spoilers:

Sir Vale and the general decline of the rest of the party, the brief realization that nothing they did mattered at the end, that the map led to nowhere and they were not ment to come back from the trip. I was devastated right along with Arthur at that plot point- and THE DEATH OF ANTOINE.

"I was kind"

"very- Very."

"...I was loved"

"Unconditionally"

I don't know why that scene in particular fucked me up, but it did. Arthur hugging Antoine in his last moments in hopes of giving him warmth and comfot, telling him he could rest, I could feel myself breaking apart along with Arthur, and when Antoine died, I snapped back along with Arthur in acceptance just as fast its jarring.

And when John brought up the possibility of bringing Antoine back, you best believe I shot down that offer on my end so fast. He deserves to rest, he was just given his go to, don't take that from him.

And everything with Lilith was crazy. The realization at the end about just how far back Lilith actually knew about Arthur- AND FRICKIN KAYNE.

OH MY GOD THIS COMEDIC ASSHOLE.

"Fruit of my loins"????

BRINGING BACK ANTOINE WHEN MY BOY GOT TO REST???

"SEWING THAT TURKEY BACK UP"?????

AND THEN IMPAILING LILITH IN THE HEAD??

AND WE CANT FORGET ABOUT YORICK.

YORICK IN KAHOOTS WITH KAYNE??? YORICK THANKING ARTHUR AND ARTHUR AND JOHN BELIVING HIM AT THE END???

YORICK GETTING CRUSHED????

Will we ever see him again? Who knows.

The ending was brutal as hell. I enjoy binging the episodes while playing Minecraft so its a lot of Arthur screaming in the background while I replant my crops. Proud to say I'm finally caught up for the first time since I started listening to Malevolent and I can't wait to scroll through the Malevolent tag unafraid of spoilers.

Study Tip #1

How to remember stuff for a long period of time?

Firstly, you should know that our brain is very adept at forgetting things it doesn't consider necessary for its survival and it fails to understand that excelling our exams are veryyyy important for our survival.

So, what you need is revision of your subject matter over and over again, over a period of time.

How to achieve that though?

Flashcards are often used for achieving this technique but to be honest, for a very vast syllabus Flashcards get quite overwhelming. So I created REVISION SHEETS for myself. It's the same thing as flashcards but it encompasses a few other techniques that makes the vastness of the topics a little easy to control and comprehend.

I make them two ways: one is completely random, with information important to remember but from various different topics. And another is by making mindmaps.

And in both of these things, I add information in QnA format. Easy.

Step by Step guide to revision sheets:

Firstly, I'd advise you to read/understand a chapter/topic through a lecture, a youtube video or a textbook. Atleast have a basic understanding of the concepts.

Check the major headings or the major sub-topics.

Start plotting the mindmap roughly, by Sub-topics and how and where you'll put them for better understanding.

Now, when you're writing content, put it all in QnA format, especially HOW you want you remember the information.

There, done.

Just make sure to use that sheet to revision at good intervals of time.

You can, of course, make changes to this process. But this is what I've done for my revision work.

[Also, I am not sure if someone else might not have already thought of this idea. Though, I don't think such study tips have any copyright but I'm just putting out there that if it resembles something that others have used/talk about online, then it's because we both thought of the same thing. And you'll too probably to solve your study problems. So all the best, let's all work hard and find our happiness.]

As a saxaphone player, I understand this deeply

bari saxthur got lucky in that kayne didn’t write him a part in The Wager so he didn’t have to go to the world’s longest and ugliest rehearsals

I hate being an academic procrastinator because I love being able to dive deep and spend hours on a project, or give my undividing attention to material and finish it to the best of my abilities.

But.

It just takes so long. The point of deep work is that it takes up time.

And from a standpoint, it's so easy to step back and say, I'm putting off that 4 hour session for later. But I'm not. Not until it's too late, that is. I like to believe that I'm getting better at it. But at this rate, im not too sure...
